Theoretically it should start working when you purchase it online via the connected store. Only thing I'd say as someone who got it, iDrive is superior for some functions while CarPlay is better on others. However, you could totally not have it and not miss it. |
Another question. I've got WiFi in my car so does this mean I can do wireless CarPlay if I choose to go ahead with it? |
Yes. CarPlay is implemented via WiFi. It's handy from that point of view. |
On my '17 X6, you had to pay $300 to have it installed (if it wasn't installed from the the factory) which came with a 20 year license. It was an individual option. BMW moved to a subscription-based model '18 and newer. I'm sure it's the same on the 5-Series.
